So I thought I would jump on the glitter on the nails bandwagon and purchase myself a black nail polish and some Gosh Nail Glitter.

I purposely created a slightly more messy nail tip look - I didn't want it to look "done". Which resulted in the below look. I did a diagonal line across the thumb just to break things up a bit too. I like inconsistency when it comes to nail art.

Below is what I used to create the above look. I painted my nails black and then applied the top coat where I wanted the glitter to be and rather than dip my nail in the pot as suggested I dabbed the glitter on with the pictured brush.

This created less mess but also meant that the glitter went on finer rather than creating a band of opaque glitter. I then applied the clear on top as a top coat to secure it all which is why the glitter has spread along all the nail slightly too. Which I liked.

I wore this look for two days before getting bored with it. (I usually find that happens when I wear a strong colour/look) It wasn't chipping but was starting to look slightly messy.

I think that from experience with nail polish etc on false and natural nails - this would probably work better on false nails but for use for a fresh look for a night out this is the perfect product and should be something every girl has.﻿ They have lots of colours to choose from including pink, lavender and silver. They are sold at Superdrug for £3.99.

One message of warning though - it's an absolute b*Tch to remove, so leave yourself plenty of time as it is definitely not something you want to do last minute before work on a Monday morning...
